The 9th China International Import Expo has arrived as scheduled and has once again become an important stage for global companies to showcase their innovative achievements and deepen cooperation and exchanges. Executives from multinational companies have said that the CIIE is not only China's largest innovation achievement display event, but also an important bridge connecting global partners and seeking future development.
Barbara Lavenos, Deputy CEO of Global R&D, Innovation and Technology Affairs of L'Oréal Group: "L'Oréal has participated in the CIIE for nine consecutive years, that is, since the first CIIE, we have not been absent every year. The CIIE is a very important event for us, because it is China's largest innovation achievements display event, and its influence radiates around the world. Therefore, we regard the CIIE as one of the important stages for L'Oréal Group to showcase the latest and best innovation achievements on a global scale."
Hu Kaicheng, Global Vice President of ConocoPhillips: "The reason why we continue to participate in the CIIE is because it is not only a platform to showcase the strength of the company and introduce the products and services we can provide to other companies, but also an excellent platform to maintain communication with existing partners."
David Andrzej, President of the Greater China Region of Sweden's Alfa Laval Technologies Co., Ltd.: "We meet many different partners here, so the CIIE always provides us with the opportunity to showcase new technologies. This year, we also brought new products. Over the years, we have achieved a lot of results worth sharing, but it is difficult to bring all the cases to display here. For us, the CIIE is an important platform where we establish connections and discuss future development directions."
Jochen Mohn, President of Hexagon Global Supply Chain: "We use the CIIE as a platform to meet important customers and partners and transform our ideas into reality. Therefore, we are further strengthening our partnership through this exhibition. Just today, we signed an important agreement with General Technology Machine Tool Company. This fully illustrates the importance of the CIIE and also reflects our global strategy - based in China, serving China, facing the world."
